5.2 Starting a Telnet Session
Telnet provides the operator with basic monitoring capabilities from a remote workstation
(platform independent).
1.
Configure the PC Ethernet adapter (NIC) to be in the same subnet as the RDL-2000.
For example, if the RDL-2000 is using the default address 192.168.25.2, set the PC
to address to 192.168.25.10.
2.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the PC to the DATA IN port of the PoE power
adapter.
Important
: Do not connect the PC directly to the Ethernet cable from the RDL-2000 -
- this may result in damage to the Ethernet interface card in the PC.
3.
Power-on the RDL-2000 by connecting AC power to the PoE power adapter.
4.
On a PC, open the Run command (Start->Run) and type 'telnet' followed by the IP
address of the RDL-2000.
telnet 192.168.25.2 [Enter]
The system should respond with a prompt similar to the following example:
RDL-2000 MU 5GHz 00:09:02:02:5F:FF 192.168.25.2
This prompt provides the following information:
Unit type:
RDL-2000
Configuration: MU - master, SU - slave
RF Frequency:
e.g., 5 GHz
MAC Address:
e.g.,
00:09:02:02:5F:FF
IP Address:
e.g.,
192.168.25.2
5.3 Login Procedure
The user is not required to login for basic CLI access to view current settings. A login is
required to change any parameter setting. The CLI interface is always waiting for the
operator to login. Simply type the username and password on a single line and then
press Enter.
For example, login using the default username and password:
[192.168.25.2] >> admin admin [Enter]
admin authorized
